As i played all of the great HL games i think i can say few words on this episode.

After i get myself into the great atmosphere as seen also in Half Life: original and episode one i must say that it disappointed me with story too short. I will start with good side of the game...great atmosphere included music and ambient sounds are simply stunning it will get maximum out of your audio system if you have one. Story is great, like all the other HL games, there is no argument about that, locations are superb and level design is awesome...especially the forest level. Dialogs are good and also voice acting. Action and gameplay of the game are good as always in HL games and most of all, you can play this game on every average PC, also on now old amd2500xp with most of the options on high, wich i find refreshing these days.
Bad side of the game is story too short, and old age engine which isnt that good if you just upgraded your machine recently and spend lot of money for it.
